- (continued from previous page)29 As round as a marble
As plump as a ball
Can climb over church both steeple and all - (sun)
30 As I was going over by London steeple
I met three Christian people
They were neither men women or children
And yet were three Christian people.
- (man, woman and child)
31 Twenty sheep went out a gap
Twenty more along with that
Twenty white, twenty black
Three times seven, twice eleven
Three and two. How much is that? -(five)
32 Londonderry, Cork and Kerry
Spell that without a "K" - (that)
33 Ar round as a marble, as deep as a cup.

34 Round and round the rugged rocks
the ragged rascal ran,
If you tell me how many it's in that
I'll call you a clever man (none)
